+"""End-to-end autoregressive decode benchmark: ReplaySSM vs the standard SSM kernel.
+
+Loads a hybrid Mamba2 model, replicates one prompt across the batch, and times a
+long greedy decode (CUDA graphs on) once with the standard kernel and once with
+ReplaySSM, then reports the per-step / throughput speedup. The two modes run in
+separate subprocesses so each gets a clean CUDA context.
+
+The FlashInfer FP4-MoE autotuner is disabled by default (it is unstable under
+CUDA-graph capture on the pre-release Blackwell FP4 path); pass
+--no-disable-flashinfer-autotune for non-FP4 models.
+
+Examples:
+    python e2e_decode_speedup.py --model-id nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-4B-BF16
+    python e2e_decode_speedup.py --dtype auto --buffer-len 16 \

-# vllm bench mm-processor
-
-## Overview
-
-`vllm bench mm-processor` profiles the multimodal input processor pipeline of
-vision-language models. It measures per-stage latency from the HuggingFace
-processor through to the encoder forward pass, helping you identify
-preprocessing bottlenecks and understand how different image resolutions or
-item counts affect end-to-end request time.
-
-The benchmark supports two data sources: synthetic random multimodal inputs
-(`random-mm`) and HuggingFace datasets (`hf`). Warmup requests are run before
-measurement to ensure stable results.
-
-## Quick Start

+the second container onward:

 The P2P tier (`type: "p2p"`) shares completed KV blocks between vLLM instances over RDMA via NIXL. Each instance binds a control socket on `host:port` and exchanges blocks directly with peers — no shared filesystem required.

-PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable must be set to the same fixed value on all nodes.
+The `PYTHONHASHSEED` environment variable must be set to the same fixed value (e.g. `"0"`) on all nodes so that block content hashes match across instances (see [Cross-Process Sharing](#cross-process-sharing)). This is enforced: a P2P instance started without `PYTHONHASHSEED` set fails at startup, and each peer's value is verified during the connect handshake — a peer advertising a different `PYTHONHASHSEED` is rejected.

 - `VLLM_P2P_SIDE_CHANNEL_HOST` (default `localhost`): address the P2P control socket binds to. It is used **verbatim** as both the bind address and the identity peers dial back — there is no auto-detection (this mirrors `VLLM_NIXL_SIDE_CHANNEL_HOST`). The default binds the loopback interface only, so peers on another host cannot reach it. **For any cross-host P2P deployment you must set this explicitly to the node's routable IP** (e.g. the pod IP) before launching `vllm serve` — otherwise remote peers will fail to connect. The NIXL agent name is a separate per-process identifier, so peers sharing a `host:port` never collide.
 - `VLLM_P2P_SIDE_CHANNEL_PORT` (default `5710`): base port for the P2P control socket. The port actually bound is `VLLM_P2P_SIDE_CHANNEL_PORT + data_parallel_index` — one socket per DP replica, matching NIXL (for DP=1 the offset is 0). The peer's port is passed as `remote_port` in `kv_transfer_params`; the router/EPP that selects the DP rank (e.g. via the `X-data-parallel-rank` header) computes `remote_port = base + rank`. The DP-index offset separates replicas *within* one deployment; two co-located *deployments* (a prefiller and a decoder on the same host) still need distinct base ports (e.g. decoder base `5711`) to avoid a bind collision.

+#### Orchestration-Layer Protocol
+
+The P2P tier does not decide *which* peer to pull from — that is the orchestration layer's job (the router/EPP and its scheduler). The orchestrator drives every transfer through a request's `kv_transfer_params` dict: it picks the request's role, allocates a unique transaction ID, and supplies the remote peer's address. All block lookup, hash matching, and NIXL transfer happen at the tier level below; the orchestrator only sets the correct role keys and enforces the allowed combinations.
+
+Every vLLM instance is a symmetric **peer**. Per request it acts as a **consumer** (pulls KV blocks from a remote peer's CPU cache instead of computing locally) or a **producer** (serves blocks from its own CPU cache to remote consumers) — or both, on the same session, for different requests. Roles are chosen per request by the keys below; there are no fixed prefiller/decoder processes.
+
+Three role keys are defined, each mapping to a sub-dict. All are optional; a request with none of them uses the tier only as a local CPU cache.
+
+Each key names the **remote counterpart** this peer transfers with (not this
+peer's own role), so the name reads as "the remote ___ I transfer with".
+
+| Key | Set on | Value fields | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `remote_decoder` | prefill producer request | `kv_request_id` | Peer computes KV and keeps it available in CPU cache for the remote decoder to pull. |
+| `remote_prefiller` | decode consumer request | `kv_request_id`, `remote_host`, `remote_port` | Peer pulls KV from the remote prefiller at the given address (classic P/D disaggregation). |
+| `remote_kv_source` | P2P consumer request | `kv_request_id`, `remote_host`, `remote_port` | Peer looks up and pulls whatever blocks the remote source currently holds in CPU cache. |
+
+Field semantics:
+
+- `kv_request_id` (str): unique transaction ID allocated by the orchestrator and pushed to every peer involved in the transfer; used to correlate the lookup, fetch, and transfer-done messages. The producer is implicit — it serves whatever block hashes it currently holds in its CPU cache for that ID.
+- `remote_host` (str): IP/hostname of the remote peer's control socket to query. Must be the peer's routable node IP (see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables)).
+- `remote_port` (int): the peer's bound control-socket port, i.e. `base + data_parallel_index` for the selected DP rank.
+
+Allowed and forbidden combinations:
+
+- **`remote_decoder` + `remote_kv_source`** is the only legal multi-key combination: a prefill producer may *also* act as a P2P consumer for the same request — skipping prefix prefill by pulling cached blocks from a source while still keeping its own computed blocks available for a downstream decoder.
+- Forbidden: `remote_prefiller` + `remote_decoder` (contradictory roles), `remote_prefiller` + `remote_kv_source` (two competing fetch sources), and all three together.
+
+Minimal examples (values that would appear in the request's `kv_transfer_params`):
+
+```python
+# Prefill producer — compute and keep KV for a remote decoder to pull
+kv_transfer_params = {"remote_decoder": {"kv_request_id": "<unique-transfer-id>"}}
+
+# Decode consumer — pull KV from a specific prefiller (classic P/D)
+kv_transfer_params = {
+    "remote_prefiller": {
+        "kv_request_id": "<unique-transfer-id>",
+        "remote_host": "<prefiller-node-ip>",
+        "remote_port": 5710,
+    }
+}
+
+# P2P consumer — pull whatever the source already has cached
+kv_transfer_params = {
+    "remote_kv_source": {
+        "kv_request_id": "<unique-transfer-id>",
+        "remote_host": "<source-node-ip>",
+        "remote_port": 5710,
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Runtime handshake for a P2P (or P/D) pull, once the orchestrator has set the keys above:
+
+1. Both peers already have listener threads on their control sockets (see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables)).
+2. **Lookup.** The consumer's tiering manager does per-block lookups; in P2P mode the tier returns `None` and registers the key. At `on_schedule_end` the consumer sends one **`LookupMsg`** (`kv_request_id` + block hashes) to the peer, per request, per step.
+3. The producer matches those hashes against its local CPU cache and replies with a **`LookupRespMsg`** carrying the hit block hashes.
+4. **Resolve.** Retried lookups now return hit / miss / in-flight. The consumer calls `submit_load` for hits only, allocating CPU slots only for hits.
+5. The consumer sends a **`FetchMsg`** (`kv_request_id`, block hashes, destination block indexes).
+6. The producer performs the **NIXL WRITE** transfer and sends **`TransferDone`** with a success status.
+7. On `get_finished`, hits are loaded into GPU as ordinary cache hits; misses are recomputed by the engine.
+
+In classic **P/D mode** (`remote_prefiller` set, no `remote_kv_source`), the lookup phase (steps 2–4) is skipped: the decode consumer assumes the prefiller holds all of the request's blocks, so every block `lookup()` returns an immediate hit and the consumer jumps straight to the **`FetchMsg`** in step 5. The `LookupMsg`/`LookupRespMsg` round-trip only happens in P2P mode, where the consumer does not know in advance which blocks the peer has cached.

 For improved robustness when processing potentially corrupted or truncated video files, vLLM supports optional frame recovery using a dynamic window forward-scan approach. When enabled, if a target frame fails to load during sequential reading, the next successfully grabbed frame (before the next target frame) will be used in its place.
